I've just finished writing my own blog, and while it's far from done, it's gained basic functionality, which is about the point when I lose interesting in all my projects.

Now what I want to do is write a bittorrent tracker. Thing is I'm so lost on how or where to begin, it's impossible. So I thought I'd ask for help.

http://bittorrent.com/protocol.html has information on the protocol, but I have a few questions...

Well I have a lot. Does anyone have any tutorials or simple examples of a script type that works? Can you even do this with PHP? I'm so confused, and I guess it isn't even that I need to write something that will work as much as understand how places do this.

There are bittorrent trackers based entirely on PHP+MySQL. I know cause I've set one up before and it works great.

Just google. You should be able to find them easily.
